What financial websites do you find invaluable?

[scsl]

www.comsec.com.au
use for announcements, summary of company news that appear in newspapers, charting. the company forecasts and analysts' estimates also give a good idea of how the company is travelling.

http://finance.google.com/finance
great if you're also tracking the US market/economy/shares. i frequently visit for market summary, headlines and company quotes and news. i mostly use for US news.

http://www.basemetals.com
invaluable for not so much the LME prices, but the free base metals and commodoties news and reports, ie overnight iventory/price reports, commodoties alerts, frequent bloomberg links. look out for the special reports running down the LHS.

cheers
scsl

The List screwed up when I copied and pasted - but the full list of sites can be found here:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ao1rOgU5p3de4SZuexzlxnPsy6IX?qid=20060627133849AAuDCWU

A lot of it is focused on US stocks - but a few apply to the Aussie markets too.

[new girl]

Thanks for the great suggestions. Are there any useful websites or publications specialising in resources/commodities?

 

[Nicks]

http://commodities.commbank.com.au/commodities/0,2023,CH3009%5FTS11672,00.html

http://money.ninemsn.com.au/shares-and-funds/
This one is really good for stats and financial information.
Reuters is useful for free up to date charts.

 

[jeromejf]

yup
I use www.tradingroom.com.au
because u get at a glance 1 year price history ..charts (intraday ) and breakin news too and layout is simple

Also Use ninemsn.com.au/money sometimes for research and Guides

 

[purple]

www.bloomberg.com

It's not as user friendly as other websites, but for people like me who trade in the Australian and Hong Kong markets, it's great because I can view all my stocks in 1 portfolio.

 

[joea]

Hi.
I like trading commodities, but at times I am trying to find stocks related to the particular commodity.
Found www.miningnerds.com
Shows stocks from a number of exchanges, and allow a simply comparison.
Cheers

Some interesting charts for 2012

http://www.businessinsider.com/the-most-important-charts-of-2012-2012-12

 

[cbc1]

Does anyone know a website where I can get historical CHART data, lets say over a 2 week period 2 1/2 years ago?

 

[tech/a]

Does anyone know a website where I can get historical CHART data, lets say over a 2 week period 2 1/2 years ago?

Yahoo
StockMonster.
Just google it.

 

[Garpal Gumnut]

I'm a browser and time poor.

aussiestockforums.com.au
afr.com.au
theaustralian.com.au/business/opinion/tim-boreham-criterion good for setups
yahoo.com ( particularly for ftse, nasdaq, djia, etc.)
http://bigcharts.marketwatch.com/ (free good charts)

If I'm bored and want a good laugh I go to the http://www.theonion.com/ or HC site, it's link has gone **** up which is a sensible move by Joe.

If gauged by the sheer number of threads you create one could argue this, no?

For Australian based news I like Business Spectator. (Sign up for free service) They seem to publish the whole story on any particular topic unlike some of the regular newspaper sites that only give you the first paragraph and then they ask you for tokens or a subscription.

http://www.businessspectator.com.au/

For overseas markets I use Market Watch. First thing in the morning I click on their website and find they give a good wrap up of what happened overnight in the USA and European markets, again another free service.

http://www.marketwatch.com/

 

[CanOz]

http://www.marketwatch.com/

Actually these guys are great for a quick look at the headlines. I'm considering setting up a new email address just to get some trading related news, including Marketwatch.

Not a financial website as such but www.tazooinvestor.com helped me to learn calculating ratios.

On the lessons of economics and what is going on at the cutting edge of money mixed in politics across the planet "The Privateer Newsletter" has been my best education by far. One soon learns about real GDP output against confetti blown out of the current systems wild up-drafts of hot air.

Jack Buckler has been at the coal face. Chicago et. al., is articulate in his writing, very well referenced and substantiated by Guv'ts own figures, even cargo shipping levels eg. can indicate huge variances to media assertions; "Things are gunna be better next year": speak

Lives at Noosa QLD and worth every cent to me of the $200 per year. I think if you check the site you can sign on for all services for about 5 weeks free.

It has a world wide circulation and I actually found it first, about 2005, on a US financial website
